Notes

Vossaøl Saison | 5.5% ABV

​Profile: Burnished Copper • Pressurized Stone Fruit • Bitter Orange Zest • Effervescent Honey

​The Story: Reserved for the officer’s mess of House Lyrandar’s most decorated airships, this brew is engineered for the high-altitude authority of the "Sea of Stars". As a vessel breaches the highest cloud layers, the High Captain uncorks this mahogany-hued ale to toast a horizon where the air is thin and the pressure is high. By utilizing lightning-fired Eitrheim Kveik yeast and an unfiltered base of Bohemian Pilsner and Pale Wheat, we preserve the raw, misty character of the upper atmosphere. It is a beer of hidden depths—boldly malted, bone-dry, and finished with a snap of bitter orange and honey to remain vibrant where the sun never sets.

​Focus on the horizon. The sky is no longer the limit.
